Health officials say Conagra Brands is voluntarily recalling several of their cake mixes after discovering a link to a Salmonella outbreak currently being investigated by CDC and FDA. Conagra is recalling the Duncan Hines variety of Classic White, and also Classic Butter Golden, Signature Confetti and Classic Yellow cake mixes which were manufactured at the same time. The recalled products have a best by date between March 7th and March 13th of 2019. Officials say several individuals reported consuming a cake mix prior to becoming ill, and some may have consumed the product raw. Cake mixes and batter can be made with ingredients such as eggs or flour which can carry risks of bacteria that are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling. Consumers are reminded to wash their hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after contact with raw batter products, to follow baking instructions, and to never eat raw batter.
